ALBANY - With just six days left in the left in the legislative session, Gov. Andrew Cuomo ramped up his pressure on Democratic lawmakers Tuesday, saying they should all face primaries next year if they fail to pass his broad, progressive-leaning agenda.

But Democrats in control of the state Legislature have yet to agree on a number of their priorities as well as the ones proposed by the governor, leaving the end of session in flux.

Cuomo reiterated Tuesday that he's not actively negotiating with leaders of the Senate and Assembly, urging them to pass the bills and vowing he would sign them.

"It’s all between them and their own colleagues. It is whatever they can work out amongst themselves," Cuomo told reporters after a news conference at the Capitol with Bravo's Andy Cohen to push for the paid-surrogacy law, which the Senate was scheduled to pass Tuesday.

Cuomo said Democrats won control of the Senate last year on a progressive platform. If they, along with the Democratic majority in the Assembly, don't follow through, they should face primaries next year when all 213 seats in the Legislature, he said.

"You were elected because you were progressives," Cuomo said. "You end the session: no marijuana, no driver’s license, half a loaf on tenant protection, no surrogacy, no ERA, no pay equity. Now, I believe they should all be primaried, because that is a failure of a basic progressive agenda."

Later, Cuomo said he believes the Legislature will pass many of the issues on his agenda. "I believe at the end of the day it’s going to be a very successful legislative session," he said.

The Legislature's annual session at the Capitol is scheduled to end June 19.

Democrats won control of the state Senate last year riding a wave of progressivism that carried them to victory in swing areas of the state, particularly the Hudson Valley and on Long Island.

Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, D-Yonkers, dismissed the Democratic governor's comments, saying, "I'm asked all the time to analysis these things and I really can't."

She said Democrats are focused on "doing what's best for New Yorkers lives" and that it would be too soon to say where some thorny issues might end up before lawmakers leave the Capitol for the year.

Cuomo has faced criticism from lawmakers for not using his influence to help them get some issues, like legalizing marijuana and a rent-control law that expires Saturday, over the finish line with some reluctant legislators.

But Cuomo, who has often used the power of his office to cajole lawmakers to act, said the Legislature faces political choices when it comes to legalizing marijuana or allowing undocumented immigrants to get driver's licenses.

"Until we study it more and understand it better," Cuomo said of mobile betting on WAMC radio in Albany, "the fact that we're channeling that work to the upstate casinos and that business, I think that's a good thing for the state."

Cuomo himself has faced primary challenges from the left, defeating Zephyr Teachout in 2014 and Cynthia Nixon in 2018.
